Frequently Asked Questions

No, we welcome paddlers of all experience levels. Our staff will provide you with basic instruction and safety tips before you head out on the water.

Our location has 2 launch options - beach or boat ramp.  Beach is protected by a 2-mile long rock wall extending out into the Bay with tons of scenic beauty.  The ramp give access to open Bay and Crown Beach .5 mile away which is nice for picnic stops or longer style trips in the Bay + fishing.  We primarily use touring kayaks that are intended for open Bay waters that allow users to travel further with less energy while most other outfitters use recreation sit-on-top kayaks that are much slower and take lots more energy to paddle. Lastly, Stacked Adventures is family run by locals that know the area extremely well so we ensure you see the best spots & stay away from the hazards.
